I have wanted to tinker with reloading for some time now, but I cant really justify spending a lot of cash to get started ( at least not to the warden ).

Over the last few years, I have consolidated calibers. Every rifle in the house right now (except the AR-15's) are .308 Win.
Im considering trying out the Lee Loader. It just seems like such a crude way to do it.
Am I setting myself up for frustration, or have any of you achieved some good results with one of these little things.

Which Lee Loader are you considering? If it's the hand dies they will make very good ammunition. They won't size the case so eventually your rounds will probably become harder and harder to chamber. You'll also probably need to use the ammo in the same gun that they were shot in since the case will only be neck sized. I'd also look at getting a separate priming tool. If you have access to an arbor press so much the better but you can use a soft face hammer. You will also probably need to trim your cases eventually as well.

I cant imagine momma will complain too much over $30...lol
I can probably pick up other things along the way, but just looking for a quick way in, on a very small investment. Just wasnt sure what kind of results to expect from this set-up.

I started out with a Lee simple hand loader just to make sure it is something I would want to invest time and $$ into. They work great just VERY slow. For the $, give it a shot just to make sure it is something you would want to pursue
